Daycare Staff

At Amazing Grace Daycare, the staff is committed to helping children reach their full potential and they will be loved unconditionally. The children will learn from both Bible lessons and through their teacher's example that Jesus loves them and will guide and direct their young lives. In this setting, each child's God-given gifts and abilities will be fostered through inquiry, exploration, experimentation, and expression.

Meet the Leadership

We believe that teamwork and community are inspired by care and consideration. By leading with purpose, we create an environment where our staff can shine in their mission of nurturing the children in our building.

Director

Jennifer Duenwald

Jennifer has been at Amazing Grace Daycare since 2019, and has been working in childcare for over 25 years. Jennifer is originally from Washington State, and moved to Clark with her husband. They have two children together, and two big dogs and one sassy cat. Between Amazing Grace and her husband's family business, Jen spends her time in one form of chaos or another. Her childcare philosophy is that learning us best fostered by creating a place of safety and play through connection. She believes that every child deserves to know that they are inherently loved, and that engaging their curiosity will open up doors they never knew existed.
